What have you done to your Bronco today?

Drivers side is prepped, my neighbor is bringing me some 2" scraps to attach to the frame.

Update: My starter wrap experiment appears to be successful. I took it out this weekend for errands and had to restart it twice after it sat in an asphalt parking lot. It still cranks a little slower than when cold, but the radio did not shut off. I think getting the headers coated or building a heat shield for them would solve the issue completely. The headers are chrome Duff's long tubes and are still hanging in there 23 years later.

I really like the rectangular box tube rock sliders. A buddy of mine did them on a D90 in the early 2000s and have been my favorite shape since I saw them.

Shielding like OE uses. Stuff on our Subaru yrs ago was .030" thick.

Took it off roading Sunday. I really need to get the Holley sniper put on it. That Holley Off Road carb is just not cutting it.

I got my first bracket made up, I was impressed my mathe for the angles worked out I still need to weld some plate to the frame.

So I ran carbs from June '76 to about 2014 with a 2 yr stint in the early '90's when Holleys Projection came out till Moates Qtrhorse on my 418 in about 2014. Carbs always worked. Maybe a screwdriver twist or a fuel bowl adj or cleaning... simple & ez.


So with Moates it was a constant battle as it kept dropping tunes or the battery failed or, or, or... but it would run at almost any angle.

So Terminator X a couple yrs ago for the 464... ran great for months then... I don't know what happened... just slowly started running a bit ragged, then more ragged, then more... yeah.

So maybe the TPS had been bad for over a year... heck, the IAC failed b4 we could get it running...maybe the O2 sensor was tweaking for a while (2-12mo?) but I kept driving not because I wanted to but because I couldn’t tune it. So I replaced the TPS after doing a data log and saw the graph! WOW, that helped... back to chirping into 2nd every shift when going slow.

TermX wouldn't learn in Moab at 4500-6200ft even after replacing the O2 sensor that really needed replacing (2 yrs for both parts & one failed b4 start up) wth???

Anyway, got an appt for a tune (closest place 108 miles away) & he could not explain why it "lost" it's tune but the ccl settings were off (guessing it was tuner issue as I never touched it) & now it's running like it did the first 4 months after I installed it.

If it wasn't for extreme off camber wheeling I'd be running a Qjet still. Simple & dependable & always got ya home... she was strapped to the dyno for 5 1/2hrs... he spent a LOT of time on it.

EVAP system done except cannister hose to air cleaner assembly. I figured a way to prevent fuel from flowing toward cannister when hitting brakes, I routed vent hose to filler neck and went up about a foot, used a roll over valve then routed to cannister. Not pretty, but no fumes anywhere.

Got another one back on the road. 1977 Special Decor painted Area 51. 351W, 2.5" SL, 1 BL", 4:10 with Detroit no spins.

Got them both wrapped up last night, and of course I ran out of paint.

Those turned out great! Good job! I might have to do the same for my 77.

Love the avatar photo too.
I grew up with P3's flying overhead all day long, all year long, for years. Flying out of Moffett Field along with C130's and U2's now and then. Neighbor used to fly the Antarctica route in the Hercules regularly.
Never did understand why anyone would be annoyed at them flying overhead.
Then again, what did I know. I didn't mind sonic booms either!

Pulled everything off but taillights, then drove it to the painter's shop. (Pulled the taillights out after I got there. No masking...)

Started making a skid plate for my gas tank, probably should have done this years ago.
